I hate apartment hunting!!!

This is worse than job hunting!

People want rediculous rent for CRAP!

Others will take a cat, but a bunny no way? What is that?

The funny part is we are great tenants. I have rented since 1999, some would die for such a considerate, quiet, and barely home tenant!

The clock is ticking Chat Icon
I will be so thankful when we are all moved in and settled!
Thank you for the ventChat Icon

So you know how frustrating it is!!!!

We really hate to give a full month rent to a realtor, but are willing to if it's a great place, since we are looking to stay at least 1 1/2 to 2 years in it. Some realtors still want to show you crap and we have no time for that in our schedules!

I know. Commuting stinks!!!

We are trying to find a good tenant and we haven't seen that many that we love yet. We may go through a realtor soon.

That has to be hard, because I have heard stories from both sides, intrusive landlords and horrible tenants who distroy the place.

I hate apartment hunting too--I have had quite a few thigsn fall through, for mysterious, shady reasons.

I'm surprised they won't take your bunny. My last place wouldn't take cats or dogs, but all other pets were ok.

Re: I hate apartment hunting!!!

We are in the same position. We have two cats and a bunny. People look at us like we're crazy when we say we have a bunny. She stays in the cage and doesn't make a mess at all, but that always seems to turn landlords off. We are desperately trying to find a 2 bedroom in our price range. UGH it *****!!!!

I know maybe I am biased, but I actually had a person say, oh no I don't want a bunny, but would take a car...OH AND SHE JUST CALLED and said, come see it, but I still don't know if I want the bunny. Chat Icon WHY THE HECK WOULD I BOTHER SEE IT. I don't want you as my landlord,,,who's to say you won't evict me in a few months?

Re: I hate apartment hunting!!!

I feel for you! Sorry you are having such a hard time!

DH and I did the apartment search quite a few times and came up with a whole load of crap for outrageous prices!

The only way we could find a decent apartment was to go through a realtor! I hated having to give them a freaking realtor fee, but we did find an AMAZING apartment! You may just have to give in like we did.

Good Luck!
